Voodoo Banshee 16mb
Voodoo 3 3000 (which broke not long after 3Dfx went bust and all the stock had gone for a replacement)
Radeon 7000
Radeon 9800 Pro
Geforce 6800 Ultra
Geforce 7800 GT + another shortly after for SLI (one of these was still going in a work PC up until about 2 years ago!)
Geforce GTX 280
Radeon 6950
Geforce 1070ti
2080 Super
3080 FE

Quite a large hiatus between the 6950 and the 1070ti whilst real life activities like buying a house took over.

This was hard to remember, think I remembered all the cards I've had. The gen that really annoyed me the most was the X1800XT to the X1900XTX, pretty big performance boost in shader performance for just 3 months apart. Just imagine if Nvidia released a 980 Ti then the 1080 Ti 3 months later :mad:

AMD/ATI

Rage Pro
Radeon 8500 LE
Radeon 9200
Radeon 9800 Pro
Radeon X800 XT PE

Nvidia

RIVA TNT2
GeForce2 MX400
GeForce3 Ti200
GeForce4 Ti4200
GeForce FX 5800 Ultra
GeForce 7800 GTX
GeForce 8800 GTX
GeForce GTX 680

Oh god...... Memory test
Can't rember what was in my 1st pc (IBM blue lightning dx3 75. A gash pc for gaming)

Diamond S3 virge
(Later added gen 1 videologic PVR accelerator)
Replaced that with canopus 6mb 3dfx.
Then Nvidia TNT
Then Nvidia geforce 256 DDR
Then geforce 2 of some description
Then geforce 3 ti 500
Then Radeon 9800pro
Geforce 6600gt (flashed to open the pipes)
Geforce XXX 7800 gtx
(Then left pc gaming for a bit)
Geforce 560ti
Geforce 670
Geforce 980
Geforce 1080ti (my current card).

I used to build pcs to sell so in my time I have had various other machines with hardware to experiment with but the above were ones which made it to *my* machine.

Definitely an NV bias. I am more balanced on the CPU front but imo even since the 1st geforce on the whole NV have edged it for me (my radeon 9800pro was excellent though and came with that little known game half life 2 ;) )

Very few cards compared to some in here! No brand loyalty here either, it was always performance I was after.
